When the words "Do you want to try..." floated into Ye Tian's ears, a cruel scene suddenly emerged in his mind.
It was a dimly lit, empty little room. The place was quite dilapidated, with only a few pieces of furniture that were extremely old. In the room, there was a small Earthen Bed, and the brutal scene unfolded on this three-foot-long Earthen Bed.
A large Raccoon with gray and white fur extended its two front paws, as if cradling something. However, since it was facing away, it was impossible to see clearly; all that could be heard was the incessant crying of a baby, crying with great intensity.
As if sensing someone approaching, the Raccoon suddenly turned its head. The fur at the corners of its mouth had been stained red with blood, and in its mouth, it was chewing on a baby's arm...
Crunch, crunch...
The baby's arm bones had not yet fully developed, making them soft and fragile. Under the sharp teeth of the Raccoon, they produced a disturbing sound. Ye Tian felt his body involuntarily shiver at this sound. He wanted to reach out and drive away the Raccoon but suddenly realized he couldn't move at all.
"Jie jie jie..."
The Raccoon let out a human-like eerie laugh before turning back to take a fierce bite. The baby's cries ceased as flesh from its chest was torn away, revealing a still-beating heart.
Seeing this, Ye Tian wanted to shout at it, but when the words reached his lips, he found he couldn't make any sound. In horror, he tried to retreat, but his feet seemed rooted to the ground, unable to move an inch.
"Jie jie jie..."
The Raccoon emitted a series of strange laughs before swallowing the baby's heart whole. Its barbed tongue greedily licked up the dripping blood as it slowly moved toward Ye Tian.
Closer and closer...
Until it was just inches away, its sharp white fangs glinting with an eerie light in the dim room, and a faint smell of blood wafted through the air.
"This... this is..." Ye Tian exclaimed urgently, suddenly exerting force as he tried to break free from the inexplicable restraint. However, no matter how hard he struggled, his body remained completely unresponsive.
The Raccoon was large, about the size of an adult man, and at that moment it stood upright, its posture slightly hunched. One arm, covered in gray and white fur, slowly reached towards Ye Tianxin's Heart Gate, the location of the heart.
Ye Tian desperately tried to evade, but still could not move. In the next moment, sharp claws pierced his skin, digging in deeper and creating a hollow indentation.
"Is this an illusion?" The intense pain brought Ye Tian back to some semblance of awareness, but the same excruciating pain made him realize he was not entirely in a dream.
"Hiss..." As the claws continued to penetrate, a searing pain caused Ye Tian to shudder all over, while a surge of fiery blood rushed to his heart. "Wang Weiyang!"
After shouting, the scene before him suddenly shifted. The night wind was somewhat desolate; ten feet away stood a crumbling wall, and right in front of him was that grinning cat face.
Ye Tianxia's consciousness surged forth with a palm strike accompanied by the sound of Thunder Burst. The Bagua Thunder Palm was unleashed amidst dazzling golden light.
Seeing this, the Raccoon's eyes flashed with greed and reluctance. It quickly leaped up, dodging the Thunder Palm and in the blink of an eye landed atop the Gatehouse.
The Gatehouse was the only place in the courtyard untouched by Qi Blade's influence. It stood two meters high, flanked by two stone lions on either side. The stone lions were exquisitely carved and exuded an imposing aura.
However, it was precisely because of these majestic stone lions that the current scene appeared even more bizarre. Wang Weiyang was crouching atop the Gatehouse like the Raccoon, with a pair of greenish-white eyes that looked extremely hollow.
When Ye Tian's gaze met those eyes, memories of earlier flooded back: that small room, that enormous Raccoon, and that baby with its arm bone bitten off...
Suddenly shaking his head vigorously, Ye Tian jolted awake from the illusion and quickly realized he should no longer make eye contact.
At this moment, Ye Tian finally understood the source of the earlier strangeness. Raccoons were known for their ability to confuse people's minds, and Wang Weiyang's blood must have come from an extraordinary Raccoon; thus its ability to deceive was naturally more vivid and effective.
Thinking of this made Ye Tian's hair stand on end involuntarily, and a sense of dread washed over him. If it weren't for the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood flowing within him, Wang Weiyang might have already extracted his heart.
"Ha ha ha, have you really obtained the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood?" The raccoon-like Wang Weiyang's gaze was no longer hollow as it turned to Ye Tian. Even though it seemed to know that Ye Tian possessed the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, it appeared more greedy than fearful, wanting to claim it for itself.
"You have already betrayed humanity. Whether it's for personal grudges or other reasons, I will definitely take your head today!" Ye Tian inhaled deeply, focusing his mind. Although he had unintentionally activated the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique, he still did not understand its specific effects. He also did not comprehend why the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique was referred to as the Evil Scriptures, but today, he finally understood.
"Ha ha ha, can you kill me?" Wang Weiyang, or rather the Raccoon, let out a strange laugh again and suddenly leaped from the Gatehouse. After landing, it did not pause and jumped several times before returning to the top of the Gatehouse.
Ye Tian looked at the former, whose eyes remained hollow. He forced himself to steady his mind, his brows furrowing even tighter. The earlier actions were both a show of strength and mockery because in the blink of an eye, it had already leaped around Ye Tian.
"Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique..." Ye Tian slowly read these words in his heart. The power of the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique was undeniable; just a single Raccoon beast's blood could elevate a human body to such a level. What kind of power would the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood possess?
However, fortune and misfortune always coexist. Great power could lead to greater disasters if one lost their humanity.
"Could I also become like this..." Ye Tian hesitated to think but couldn't help but ponder.
At that moment, Wang Weiyang's voice reached his ears. "Ye Tian, in today's Heavenly Choice Continent, Rising Winds and Gathering Clouds is no longer a time of three sects standing together. You do have some abilities, but they are limited to a small place like Spirit Martial Town. A true man should aspire to greater things. If you hand over the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, I am willing to overlook past grievances and help you carve out a piece of your own world!"
Ye Tian was taken aback by these words because although the voice was hoarse and obscure, it carried a hint of humanity that had not been there before. Turning to look, he saw that Wang Weiyang had somehow leaped down from the doorway, and his appearance had unknowingly returned to normal.
"Overlook past grievances? You killed my mother; you slaughtered the Cold Family; your hands are stained with blood! How can you dare say you want to overlook past grievances?" Ye Tian immediately became furious and roared.
"Who said I slaughtered the Cold Family? Who said I killed your mother? Look, aren't they right here?" Wang Weiyang suddenly smiled gently and then pointed towards the courtyard.
Ye Tian was on guard against a sneak attack from him and glanced towards the courtyard with his peripheral vision.
What he saw was a Fence Courtyard with irregular wooden fences. Inside was a shabby thatched house occupying only a few square meters. At that moment, a gentle middle-aged woman was washing clothes in front of the small house. She looked up at Ye Tian with a faint yet extremely loving smile.
"Mother!" Upon seeing the gentle woman, Ye Tian burst into tears and wanted to rush over, but someone pressed down on his shoulder.
Ye Tian turned around in confusion, and the person he was holding down was a middle-aged man, around forty years old, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looking quite handsome.
"Xiao Tian," the middle-aged man called out with a smile.
"Uncle Leng?..." Ye Tian was initially puzzled, but then joyfully exclaimed, "You’re not dead! Is this all a dream?"
The middle-aged man nodded and shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Following his gaze, Ye Tian saw several people slowly approaching from a distance, both men and women, young and old.
At the front was a young girl, delicate and cute. Upon seeing her, Ye Tian felt a warm current rise in his heart.
Trailing behind her was a tall and slim boy who was grinning mischievously while looking at him. He teased, "You don’t recognize your brother after just a few days?"
"Xiao Tian! Come drink with me!"
Before Ye Tian could respond to the tall and slim boy's question, a burly man shouted loudly. Two others accompanied him, looking quite similar to each other, with well-proportioned figures and handsome faces.
"Uncle Leng, Uncle Boyuan, Cold Yang, Xiao Pingzi!" Ye Tian cheered as these familiar faces appeared before him, overwhelming him with joy and causing tears to flow down his cheeks.
"I thought you all..."
"Brother Ye Tian, you weren't having a nightmare, were you?" Cold Frost asked with a smile, her cheeks blooming with a light blush as two shallow dimples formed at the corners of her mouth.
"What a joke! How could I possibly have a nightmare?" Ye Tian turned his head away in denial. Then he saw his busy mother again and joyfully shouted, "Mom, come here quickly! I've found you a daughter-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Cold Frost's delicate face flushed even more. She slightly lowered her head and focused intently on her toes without saying another word.
“Xiao Tian, are you hurt? Who did this to you?!” Cold Boyuan, who had been standing nearby, suddenly asked with a hint of concern in his tone.
Ye Tian looked down and saw bloodstains on his abdomen, left arm, and chest. However, it didn’t hurt much, so he smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I thought you guys were harmed by the Wang family and went to confront them.”
“Why are you so impulsive!” Cold Boyuan said, sounding somewhat displeased but more worried.
“It really is nothing. I almost wiped out the entire Wang family; in the end, only... only...” Ye Tian paused here, his mind going blank. The words he wanted to say were right on the tip of his tongue, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get them out.
“Forget about that; what matters most is that you’re back.”
“That’s right, but you can’t be so reckless in the future.”
“Brother Ye Tian, I want to go play in the mountains.”
“Kid, can we still drink eighteen barrels together?”
Seeing that Ye Tian couldn’t find the right words, everyone began to chatter excitedly, their voices filled with joy at being reunited.
“Stop, stop! The most important thing right now is to treat Xiao Tian’s injuries. After he’s healed, you can do whatever you want,” Cold Boyuan interrupted with a smile and then stood in front of Ye Tian, his hand slowly reaching towards Ye Tian's injured area...
